I have yet to find a skater dress that I don’t like and this blue and white number from Charlotte Russe is no exception. Two things I love about skater dresses? They’re flattering and feminine. When you have a smaller waist/torso and a larger bottom half (hey, I have hips, okay?), skater dresses complement your figure like no other dress can (which is why I own so many of them, ha!). I’ve been playing around with the different ways to wear vests and lately I’ve been stuck on the vest/dress combo. This denim moto vest from Aeropostale helps give my otherwise girly ensemble, just a the right bit of edge – but don’t be surprised if you see me wearing it again in a completely different way. I can already see myself pairing it with some printed shorts or skinny jeans for my next look. And the crossbody? I’d call it the perfect summer companion. I hate carrying larger bags because it turns me into the ultimate bag lady – if I can stuff my bag to no end, then I will. A little crossbody helps me minimize and take only what I need. All together, I’d say I’m ready for summer. (Hey, San Francisco, you hear that? Gimme some sun!)
